LEONE LOCAL CHAT.

The sausage suffers and the ballot
box suffers begin to get in their work
simultaneously. Gentlemen who are
fond of both, are apt,-in the uncul-
tured language of the boys,-to bite
off more than they can chew. There
is great deal of proxy in politics 8
for instance, when a candidate is sick
he doctors-not himself, but the bal
lots; for all the world like the doc
tors-they never take any Of their own
medicine, and precious little of any,
body elses. And who ever heard ola

The knights of Labor have struck
on cheap and attractive "ad," when
they outline their notices on the pave

itself to perfection thro' experiments.

THE MOTOR LINE.

Mr.. Henry Sweeter says that he and his
associates are in dead earnest about that
motor line. They will put it in, buy the mo-
tors and machinery on the shortest possible
notice and start it to going. He is not doing
it with any expectation that it will pay as q
line at the first directly, but that taking
into account the interest to be conserved
and the value of lands to be enhanced that
it will pay them in the end to do it. OF
course there is no denying that it would add
Importance to the city. Except for half
dozen blocks the proposed line probably
would not affect the present street railway
